PillowScholar Suzanne Carbonneau sat down with Yin Mei to discuss her work titled Empty Traditions / City of Peonies in August, 1999. In a 1999 interview with Pillow Scholar Suzanne Carbonneau, Yin Mei talks about growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, which stripped people of their history and traditions.

In this episode, professor and choreographer Silvana Cardell contextualizes the work of the Mimulus Dance Company through the lens of adjacent histories and influences: Cardell from Argentina and Mimulus from Brazil.Watch a clip of Por Um Fio:https://danceinteractive.jacobspillow.org/mimulus-dance-company/por-um-fio/Insights and influences, Silvana Cardell:In Buenos Aires, Cardell learned under the mentorship of Chilean choreographer Ana Itelman and grew up attending  Oscar Araiz's performances. From them, she understood what it took to become an artist. Their work was influenced by German expressionism's emotional depth and American dance's physicality. Iteman and Araiz were former students of German soloist dancer Dore Hoyer and American choreographer Miriam Winslow, who was strongly connected to Jacob Pillow, first as a Denishwan student in 1932 and later returning in the 1940s to perform her own work. These influences, along with a strong foundation in contemporary dance forms, ballet training, and traditional Argentinean dance forms, determined the quality of Cardell's early work, which connects to the Mimulus Dance Company's style. Pursuing artistic growth, influenced by teacher Ana, who had been faculty at Bard College, Cardell moved between Buenos Aires and the U.S. throughout the late 1980s, first as a student at The University of the Arts,  finally settling in the U.S. in 2004 after graduating with an MFA at Temple University.  Her educational journey in Philadelphia led to work with key figures in the dance community, such as Manfred Fishbeck and Merian Soto, mentors and collaborators who fostered a creative dialogue that extends into her creative work, today.  

Jennifer Edwards hosts this episode honoring the life and legacy of former New York City Ballet dancer, Jacques d'Amboise, in his own words. Recorded during his only Pillow appearance in 2008, d'Amboise reflects on his beginnings as a dancer and his efforts to welcome more young people into his beloved art form.

Also, to mark Barbra Streisand's 80th birthday, some of our favourite musical theatre performers are joined by symphony orchestras around the country for a celebration of Barbra's most memorable songs and we look at how Tchaikovsky's ballet The Nutcracker — now 130 years old — came to become a fixture of the Christmas calendar after having little impact in its native Russia.

Welcome to Beyond the Corps Podcast! Created by young ballet dancer Claudia Suarez, Beyond the Corps is her original idea of creating a space, different from the traditional dance magazines, in order to dive deep into the history of dance. And with what purpose? To preserve the history, bring more people to the theater, and improve dancers' performance and interpretation. This episode highlights who Claudia is, what is the overall mission of Beyond the Corps, and what is the main "why" of studying dance history.

You need to navigate your creative career with clarity and confidence. I am your host master mover, Dana Wilson. And if you’re someone that loves to learn, laugh and is looking to rewrite the starving artist story, then sit tight. But don’t stop moving because you’re in the right place. Well, Hey there. Good day. Hello. Hi. Welcome to Words that Move me. I’m Dana. I am stoked you are here and I’m stoked to be hitting you with a Q and A episode today. It’s been a while since I did this, um, and times are changing and the things that you want to know are changing too. I got some really great Qs submitted when I put my, ask me anything out there on Instagram, and I am a very excited to A them. But first let’s celebrate. I start every episode with wins because I think it’s important to celebrate what is going well. And today I have a lot to celebrate, but I can not get over this one. When this past Sunday, I went on a morning beach walk with my husband, AKA vice chief, our favorite beache is Dockweiler, um, because the planes from LAX fly directly overhead, and you can light stuff on fire there, which very, very much appeals to Vice Chief. Now, I don’t recall actually how long we walked for. Uh, but there was one moment, one moment in particular, that was very special that I would like to celebrate because this moment a plane, uh, uh, like jumbo freight plane, like not a passenger plane. One of those fancy FedEx types flew overhead. It was a very overcast morning and the sound seemed to be bouncing off of all of the surrounding clouds. The sound from overhead was coming from more places than where my eyes saw the plane. And it was just so unusual to feel this multi-directional really deep and loud rumbling coming from above me. And then watching this jumbo jet disappear into a white sky was ridiculous. So that’s happening up above my head. And then below my feet, a wave came like gently about up to my shins, like were not even shin really. I would say upper ankle, like where you do a frappe from, and that cold water took the sand from under my feet. So I was having this up above sensation and below my toes sensation. And my body felt sandwiched between these senses and it was really remarkable. And I know it maybe sounds simple or silly, but I felt so small in that moment. Um, but also so big in my ability to feel so it was a special moment. I wanted to put a pin in that

This week we got to dive into a very underrepresented  area of the arts and its influence on political protest. Throughout history, dance has been used as a tool for political power and protest, even though it's also been laced with controversy and sometimes outlawed in countries and communities (even today). We talk about a myriad of cultures and societies that have been influenced by this political power of dance. From  Zimbabwe warriors, plantation slaves, 17th-century French Courtiers,  Soviet Communists,  LGBTQ+ activists,  to the counterculture scene of Sao Paulo, dance has been used as a way to express unity, power, and protest.  We also talk about the myriad of issues that have used dance as a catalyst for change including protests against the economy during The Great Depression, the refugee crisis, gender equality, human trafficking,  and most recently police brutality and the Black Lives Matter movement.  This episode will definitely make you rethink dance... and also the movie Footloose. Want to check out some of our favorite books?

Welcome back to the Christmas special of Past Loves - the weekly history podcast that explores affection, infatuation and attachment across time.With Covid and the closure of so many theatres this year, it only seemed apt to take the Past Loves Christmas special to the stage. So for this very special episode, I am joined by Irina Klyagin - a Russian ballet scholar who looks after Harvard University’s extensive theatre collection at the Houghton Library - to discuss the love story between Rudolf Nureyev and Erik Bruhn.Erik was the Danish ice to Rudolf's Russian fire and the two were both titans within the ballet world, defining an era. Their art was, therefore, at the heart of their relationship and was so from the very beginning. When Rudolf defected to the West from the Soviet Union, it was his aim to meet and train with Erik. He knew that was where he was meant to be. They learnt from each other, honing their talent to become two of the most famous male ballet dancers in history.Their love story is one of passion which I very much hope you enjoy. May your festive season be full of light and love.

Stripper dance, just like the strip club industry, is rife with cultural appropriation. Because we live in a white supremacist capitalist patriarchy, the appropriation of BIPOC dances, specifically within the strip club industry, which actively disenfranchises BIPOC strippers (particularly & especially Black strippers), is nothing short of an act of cultural and interpersonal violence.This panel discussion includes four guests: Joy, a black stripper/pole dancer; dancehall queen Hershey (also searchable: bliss_movements617); Jamaican dancer, author, and DJ Bianca Rose [aka Bianca Star]; and Moroccan dancer/Raqs Sharqi dancer Soumaya MaRose.

Michael Stuart Ani joins me for the 10th episode! He is the author of the incredible book we talk much around called The Ghost Dance: An Untold History of the America's. He's also co-founder of the Amazonia Foundation in 1991, and has recently started the non-profit the Talking Plants Foundation, as well as another project called The Healing Garden we talk about in this episode. He's helped fight epidemics in South America, especially with the Yanomami, and is engaged in work in a similar vein with Covid 19. This conversation to me really strikes deep into the heart of what this podcast is about in a big way. Michael's story is almost like the alchemical transformation of the individual in order for the collective to go through the needed changes for life to continue. This episode is about some of the mythic history of the America's, The Ghost Dance, prophecy, and what it means for the times we're going through right now. He also dispels many myths around indigenous plant medicine use, like Maria Sabina and what she said around synthetic psilocybin.  Follow him on Facebook or Instagram for great videos about what's going on in the jungle and elsewhere Instagram: @theghostdance The Talking Plant Foundation is his non-profit The Healing Garden is his work he's doing with medicinal plants during epidemics.

Hello friends! Hope everyone is doing well. In this Episode of The Dance Sessions Pod., we will discover some information about Dance History associated with the peoples of early America, the American Indians. I have the greatest respect for all the tribes as they are recognized in history and present day. Since I am by no means a historian, this episode is strictly as fact based as I could make it using the following sources: D, Michael, and Trisha Howson. “Native American Dances .” Legends of America, Kathy Weiser/Legends of America, 2020, www.legendsofamerica.com/na-dances/. Mason. “Dance (Pages. 151-154).” Encyclopedia of North American Indians, by Frederick E. Hoxie, Houghton Mifflin, 1996, pp. 151–154. I hope you all can take something away from the many cultures and dance traditions. Each tribe is so uniquely different in their beliefs and it fueled their dance traditions and how they portrayed symbolism in their art. Enjoy this semi-dive into American Indian culture! Visit the places I have listed to dive even deeper into these amazing cultures. -Chris

http://annettbone.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/11/African-American-Culture.png ()The truest expression of a people is in its dance and in its music. Bodies never lie. ~Agnes de MilleThere are times when the simple dignity of movement can fulfill the function of a volume of words.~Doris HumphreyBackslide, Apple Jack, Lockin, Electric Boogaloo, Urban Cha cha, and hip hop--what do you picture when you hear these words? If you know your dance history, these are dances and dance traditions from African American Culture. You know that saying, you don't know what you don't know? Well it turns out, not surprisingly that there was a lot I didn't know about these dance forms and traditions until I got to hear an engaging and entertaining discussion with dancer and dance historian E. Moncell Durden and curator Vida L. Brown at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles. From video clips, to demonstrations, to dialogue, I loved this experience and I'm going to share a number of things that stood out to me. This is in no particular order: Dancing for life's sake, versus dancing for arts' sake was the origin of many dance forms. Dance as worship. The style of KRUMP releasing negative energy. It's free, it can be exaggerated and energetic and it's a non-violent way to release this negative energy. Kingdom Radically Uplifted Mighty Praise is the acronym. I've observed cyphers in the past month and I didn't know it is a form of bonding. The circle is a space where there is encouragement. Finding and claiming space for one's own identity is the purpose behind many of these dance forms. The Soul Train Line--the dance/music show from 70's was about building community. There was no lead person and license to be your own person. You have that support as a whole but have the freedom of individuality. I love that! The evolution of dances, where what you see, has been done before. Seeing historical footage via images and video in comparison with more current media is proof of reinvention and repurposing. Earth vs heaven. Earth being grounded vs. European dance forms where there is more reach to the sky (heaven). There exists a Eurocentric ideology of the hierarchy of dance that certain forms are more important than others. I'm all about studying different styles and it's critical to know that one style is not more valuable than another. We haven't realized the value of gestures, and there is so much meaning behind them. I am fascinated with dance styles that use hand gestures, similar to mudras in Yoga.

Noodle narratives - Laurie Taylor talks to US anthropologist, Deborah Gewertz, about the invention, production and consumption of instant ramen noodles. From their origins in Japan to their worldwide spread to markets as diverse as the USA and Papua New Guinea. As popular with the affluent as with the poor, they enable diverse populations to manage their lives. So how did noodles become one of the industrial food system's most successful achievements? And what can the humble noodle tell us about the history of food and the anthropology of globalisation? Also, British men dancing like Brazilians. Social scientist, Neil Stephens, discusses a study which finds that Capoeira challenges the traditional opposition between masculinity and dance. He's joined by Theresa Buckland, Professor of Dance History and Ethnography. Producer: Jayne Egerton.
